[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulicro:
I'll tell you why.

More and more people are coming to these forums, and disregard everything that's posted. They jump in, create a thread, ask the same questions, and expect us to do the work for them.

If this specific user took the 15 minutes to read, he would quickly understand that there are two versions of ICS for the GS2 - leaked builds from Samsung, and CM9. He would also quickly understand that none of these are "full working ROMs".

However, seeing as he couldn't bother himself for 15 minutes to at least try and figure things out on his own, I definitely can't be bothered to write a valid response and to encourage that kind of behavior.

The video basically says "search before you post". He should search before he posts. It isn't funny, it isn't a joke, its actually pretty sad the video had to be created in the first place. But it was created, and it does exist, and so I'll use it whenever its appropriate.

XDA is not anybody's personal tech support - this is not a 1-800 number to dial if you're having problems or questions regarding your device. It is, though, an enormous hub of information that is readily available to anyone who's willing to put in the tiny bit of effort required to properly use it.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talltubatom:
I'm on using a Nexus S on AT&T. The phone is Not rooted and I am running the latest ROM released by ma ball. I have been experienceing data conectivity issues for the past few days I have not been able to connect to the mobile network. I called AT&T to verify that they had the right IMEI number for me and everything checked out.

After doing a factory reset on the phone I was able to restore my data connection... WTF?

I tried setting up my google voice mail up, but it says it cannot change the access numbers. This is a first for me. I still have the stock ROM on my phone, un rooted. Anyone one else run into this?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Simba501:
Some times GV will give messages like that, but indeed work. I recommend testing it. Have you set it up via the website? It provides a number, which is entered on the device.

I don't remember the steps exactly; it's been a while. However, I remember that it didn't work properly until I visited the website, and that it gave an error message, but worked fine.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sp00nix:
I know it does not work as GV does not see new VMs, they get treated normally. This is not the first time i've set it up. I have set it up dozens of times on my other phones as i am always messing with new roms, but this is the only time it has not worked. I have tried a few times, and im wondering if its locked out for some reason.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Simba501:
Just to cover the basics; you've selected it as the default?

The next step I'd consider taking is clearing the application data and starting over.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] timropp:
I bought a cheap silicone skin for my flyer (this one: http://www.amazon.com/HTC-FLYER-SILICONE-SKIN-CASE/dp/B0050FDQTC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325684321&sr=8-1)

It fits ok, but causes frequent shut downs. I think it's just a bit tight against the power button and holds it down till the flyer shuts off.

Anyone know of a skin that doesn't do that? Or should I just take a knife to this one and cut out around the power button?

I want just a skin rather than case - I'd like a better grip on the unit, plus hide the whiteness (just don't like the white/silver of the flyer) and still fit into my windshield mount in the car.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RedWingsFan:
I just received a clear one from handheld items that I haven't installed yet. By the looks of it, the area over the power button is raised so it shouldn't cause the problem you are having. I'll test it out later and report back.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sajan118:
Send The Seller A Message
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] timropp:
Thanks, I'd appreciate it.

The one I bought does have a raised bump over the power button, but doesn't seem to be enough.

I looked todya at the bestbuy hard cover for the flyer (the one that only covers the back, but it's hard). Looks nice, but the back is too slick. And it's stupid expensive, like $40 for a dumb piece of molded plastic. So I'm also considering some of the knockoffs of that too - the ones online all claim to have a rubberized back.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] timropp:
Oh, I have. But I've actually had 2 of them already and both did it (different sellers, but the same skin. One was this one, and one was a bigger pack w/ car mount and such). So now I'm looking for a replacement. My flyer was a refurb, and the bottom back cover (not the one that the sd slot is under) is loose, so that's another reason I want it covered. Don't want a full case though since it'll be spending most of the time in a car mount where a case would get in the way.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RedWingsFan:
I just installed the one I got from HandHeldItems.com

There is plenty of clearance between the power button and the case. Maybe just a tad more than I prefer because you have to push it down pretty far to get it to trigger the switch.

The case fits good. All holes line up except the small hole on the bottom of the right side. I think that is a microphone. No big deal for me.

The back is textured and it feels good in the hand.

My only complaint is the 'color'. I'd go with a Black or Smoked on my next one. I'm not a fan of the clear.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] matteof93:
Huawei decided to put a FPS limit on its stock-ROMs, and this limit makes a stock-rom jerky and unsuitable for gaming.

I have looked for a script that was able to remove this FPS limit but the only one i found was not working correctly.

Then i found a really useful script that disables the VSYNC (enabled by default in the kernel).

I have tested this script on my u8800pro (stock 2.3.5 + root + CWM recovery + kernel .35 by genokolar) and it works really well. The rom now is really smoot, like CM7, and fast.

I haven't noticed any lag.

This is how to remove the FPS limit:

download this file http://sourceforge.net/projects/matteof93.u/files/69uncapfps/download

put it in your sdcard

download the app "script manager" from the market

open the script with script manager (remember to select run as root and run at boot)

after running the script for the 1st time, reboot the phone

To check if the script works, use an app like Neocore (i get 55FPS).

This script should work with both u8800 and u8800pro. I don't know if it works with the stock kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VuDuCuRSe:
First you say it doesn't remove the limit but disables the vsync, then later you say how to remove the FPS limit and the topic also states that.

What's it gonna be?

Ok, the script simply edits a system file to disable the vsync...

#!/system/bin/sh

#zdzihu: uncap fps
mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug
echo '0' > /sys/kernel/debug/msm_fb/0/vsync_enable
umount /sys/kernel/debug

Nice move, but it's not cool to just tell people to run some script from "megaupload" or whatever... ;)

Be warned, vsync is there for a reason, and disabling it will cause screen tearing.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Yes, and because of that, I disabled it on my phone.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] solarspeed:
Sometimes when I try to "pull" notification bar very fast the one half is kinda "broken" and moves a bit faster than other half. Never noticed so called tearing anywhere else.

This doesn't make the phone unusable, in fact, you don't notice it until you specifically search for it. When it comes to U8800+, VSYNC only makes the screen worse (IMO). It's not worth it.

I would personally like to see a more universalized method of doing this-

As this is one of the things iPhuckers try to pretend it makes their devices better.

I don't have a huwawei, but as these phones are all linux-core, there's got to be one or two things that we can do to improve the fps.

im already stuck with this thing for a couple of days.

i tried to using elite x1 and miui-xj 2.3.30 and try to remove fps limitation with both stock kernel from miui rom or geno's. dont works, its say like the Attach pictures and after rebooting it does not happen anything, still get 42-45fps with neocore

then i tried to used http://forums.miui.us/showthread.php?9789-Tutorial-Teach-you-how-to-uncap-FPS-for-U8800-or-U8800-Pro-to-55; i dont use the original file from this thread because i dont know the language. so i try to modify matteof93 's file and still same, it doesnt happen anything

On the other hand, VSync causes input lag, which is why this solution is around. You can easily notice the lagging, especially while playing games. Also, since "Screen Tearing" is not a consistent hardware problem, I believe it is worth to disable VSync to enjoy a smoother image experience.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jamesmcuk:
Hi guys

I am having some GPS issues and signal issues with my new Nexus on Vodafone UK. I haven't been on the network before so the signal could just indeed be very poor everywhere I go but he GPS is awful and would not lock / find sats for ages.

Anyway after digging around I see Voda had probs with the S2 and GPS and a fix was found. Many user reported that there aGPS settings were set to:

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

This file is in /system/etc/gps.conf file

Voda apparently fixed the problem but did not say how and I was wondering if anyone in the UK or europe with a working fast fixing GPS signal can confirm that their gps.conf file reads like this or has europe.pool.ntp.org as the first line. Mine currently reads as above and works but is flakey and no where near as good as on the desire i had.

Thanks in Advance

However I am impressed that you have taken this opportunity to go off topic and point out that I have received no "Thanks". I understand this would be a life changing issue for you and that you would probably require many months of therapy, but for me it really is no big deal.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wardy:
Mines configured like the above 4.0.2 Google build, sim free on 3 network uk .

I noticed very long lock times until I downloaded and used a GPS tool to clear my GPS data and then re-downloads this every hour . Basically the cache has the last stored location giving and if your moving about and use the GPS a lot when you load back up maps or something you should in effect be not too far away from your last cached fix and so helps in a new fix time. Well that's how I understand it any ways . I 'm sure someone else may no more indepth .

Any ways my lock times seem to be quicker now than before .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Popup-ch:
It shouldn't really matter what NTP server you use. After all, it's only used to synchronise the internal clock, in order to get a fast4er initial fix. Sure, it might make sense to use an NTP server provided by your operator, but I really don't think it's that big a deal.

(NTP is a time synchronisation protocol, used e.g. to synchronise PCs over internet. It's got decent precision (~10ms), but it's not as good as GPS or IEEE1588.)

(I'm on a stock 4.0.1 machine provided by Sunrise/Switzerland, and I've got the same settings as you, and no problems with the GPS.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
Just for info... top level ntp sources (stratum 0) use high grade GPS equipment and their precision is way better than any other widely available system. However, your precision can depend on the latency between you and the ntp source and the stratum level of your source (higher stratum = less precision due to being further separated from the original source 0)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
Sorry, just to clarify further... using a providers ntp server is likely to be worse than using something like pool.ntp.org unless, in the unlikely event, they are a stratum 0 ntp source. I would however pick ntp source in the same country, not USA if you're in the uk, due to latency. Accurate ntp is important in a fast GPS fix as GPS is actually a very sophisticated clock, where timing deltas are used to determine location. Gps is commonly thought of as a location device that tells you where you are but its actually a series of clocks that share information to derive coordinates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
BTW my GPS conf file is the same as the op's, incl north America ntp source.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jamesmcuk:
Thanks for the replies:

I have now installed faster fix and set my ntp to the Uk and appear to be getting fast locks now but I have also upgraded to 4.0.3 so I am unsure which did it. Seeing as you guys all have a similar setting to my original post I probably had a corrupt file or it was a bad rom version. Who knows. Thanks for the confirmation of the file though its very much appreciated.

Question is, the vcast media manager pops up everytime i plug my thunderbolt into the pc, I have checked "do not display when connected" but it does anyway, my main question is why? I am not running anything stock so why is this still popping up? I figure it was part of the OTA update but since I flashed a custom rom shouldn't that have removed such things?

Hello to All !!!

First post ever over here ! Thanks for this is a fantastic community, and many, including me, have learned from all the great info here !!! (Own an Asus Transformer !).

Currently with iPhone 4 jailbrokened AT&T (easy on the tomatoes...), but thinking about getting an Android phone. I have read multiple threads, and articles...seems to me that the SGSII is the current "killer" phone out there. But maybe the Galaxy Nexus is almost there.

Also, I have found a nice, altougth rather short, thread about a classification of phones according to their antenna and reception, and it seems that the Moto Milestone XT720 is the best out there.

So, in short: Which phone would you guys recommend, either from one of these in my post, or something else, and why?
